Justin Herbert Set for a Potentially High-Volume Matchup
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert bounced back in Week 6, leading an impressive, game-winning drive against the Miami Dolphins with only 40 seconds remaining. However, the Chargers' offensive line remains uncertain, with tackle Joe Alt (Doubtful) and guard/tackle Trey Pipkins (Out) weakening the protection. Despite this, Herbert is set for a pass-heavy game against the 5-1 Indianapolis Colts, whose injured secondary recently allowed Arizona Cardinals backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett to throw for 320 yards and two touchdowns. The Colts rank 22nd in Opponent Passing Yards per Game, and this offensive showdown should force Herbert to rely more on his arm, especially with the possible return of wide receiver Quentin Johnston. The volatility of the matchup, along with line injuries, slightly lowers his floor, but his expected volume keeps him solidly in the QB1 range. RotoBaller projects Herbert as QB8 this week, making him a strong start in all formats.
